Solution
La Ferroviaria Italiana (LFI) currently operates two regional railroads and several bus routes around the city of Arezzo in Tuscany, a central Italian region.
The two tracks, Arezzo-Stia heading north and Arezzo-Sinalunga heading to southern Tuscany, cover about 60 kilometers. The 152 buses serve Arezzo and the surrounding communities.
The tracks are part of the Tuscan railroad system as a whole, but regional authorities entrusted their operation to LFI. Good management has encouraged commuters and students to embrace the urban rail for their daily journeys.
LFI has adopted Italy's industrial standards for transparency. For example, it has drafted a detailed service charter with various service level commitments for its users. Users can also interact with the company through an app for smartphones and tablets.
"This creates a vital link to the regional capital, Florence.”
